I won today! Well sort of! Although I still sat down at my desk at 8:33, I was able to leave the house at 7:43 AM with everyone in tow and ready to go by 7:40AM. This new chapter in our life is our biggest obstacle to overcome. I am convinced that our children are smarter than we are because they, on a regular basis, are able to manipulate us into letting them stay up beyond what normal functioning hours for young children should be. This is starting to really annoy me as a wife and a mother. I love my children and the joy that they have brought to our lives BUT I am continually frus-ter-ated (pronounce it out loud and you will say it like Dylan!) by the inconsistency of our parenting skills in this area! Everyone is affected by this one thing - the adult relationship and most important, the functioning children! It also makes my mornings a struggle in more ways than I would like to admit! I am doing my best to continue to do what I know is best for us all! What might that be???? Well working out of course! A physically and emotionally fit mom is good for everyone EXCEPT when she feels like she's making all the sacrifices to get this one thing right! I am hopeful that with diligence and persistance that this is just a small cross to bear. Until then, I'll hope and pray for the best! HA!
